Definitions

  • the present disclosure relates to an image processing apparatus, an image processing method, and a storage medium that are to protect privacy.
  • Japanese Patent No. 5834193 discusses a technology that uses a result of human body detection to generate a video in which a human body region is masked.
  • Japanese Patent No. 4578044 discusses a technology in which a receiving unit receives outline information about a difference region between images extracted by a monitoring module, composes a composite image of the outline information and a background image, and displays the composite image.
  • the technology discussed in Japanese Patent No. 5834193 changes a color and a mask pattern of the human body region depending on an attribute of a person, and the changed color can become a color similar to the background image. Therefore, the masked person is not distinguished from the background, which can cause missing of an actually-present person.
  • the color of the outline information can become similar to the color of the background because the outline information received by the receiving unit is simply overlapped with the background image.
  • WO 2007/004974 A1 discloses a technique relating to production of a video signal representing a sports scene involving a rapid ball movement. A synthetic tracerepresenting the path of the moving ball is shown as successively added image data.
  • US 9 142 033 B2 discloses a method and system for real time processing of a sequence of video frames.
  • a current frame in the sequence and at least one frame inthe sequence occurring prior to the current frame is analyzed.
  • the sequence of video frames is received in synchronization with a recording of the video frames in real time.
  • the analyzing includes performing a background subtraction on the at least oneframe, which determines a background image and a static region mask associated with a static region consisting of a contiguous distribution of pixels in the currentframe, which includes executing a mixture of 3 to 5 Gaussians algorithm coupled together in a linear combination by Gaussian weight coefficients to generate thebackground model, a foreground image, and the static region.
  • the static region mask identifies each pixel in the static region upon the static region mask beingsuperimposed on the current frame.
  • US 2016/0026875 A1 describes a monitoring device whose processor generates a background image from a video acquired by cameras capturing a monitoring area. In the background image no movable body is reflected. Position information of an image area of a movable body is generated based on the difference between the video at a noticed time and the background image, as well as a mask image corresponding to this image area. At last, a mask processing image is created by superimposing the mask image on the background image.

  • programs of various kinds of applications that are operated on the OS are stored in the HDD 22.
  • the CPU 11 when the image processing apparatus 100 is turned on, the CPU 11 loads the OS programs from the HDD 22 to the RAM 13 based on the boot program stored by the ROM 12, and executes processing to achieve functions of the respective devices.
  • Fig. 2 is a diagram illustrating an example of the software configuration of the image processing apparatus 100 according to a first exemplary embodiment.

This enables setting the masking color different for each frame, and executing the masking processing based on the different masking color.
  • the image information setting unit 103 can select the image information about the mask region based on the image information about the mask region selected in a previous frame and the image information about the background image in a current frame. This method prevents the color of the mask image from being changed for each frame, and enables a user to easily recognize the masked object.
